Our idea: create a modern technology experience in middle schools

[marcotuts]

Hello everyone! I've introduced myself elsewhere, but I will again here.. My name is Marco and I am an undergraduate student at Olin College of Engineering in Boston. I'm taking an entrepreneurial sabbatical with 5 of my peers to "do something cool and learn a lot!" Well, our idea is still very loosly defined, as we are still in the trailing end of the first round of user studies and immersion.

Our vision is to design a web based tool for middle school students, parents, teachers, and administrators. It serves to enhance communication and collaboration in the middle school environment by virtually extending the current time and space boundaries of the classroom.

We're currently competing to win startup funding for our venture, which we still plan to spend the next 6-8 months doing full time (all six of us)! Sign up and vote for us if you like the idea! The website, Ideablob, is a really cool website, and many of the ideas are education related.
